8i ma NUGGETS OF GOLD. IMPORTANT HAPPENINGS IN EVERT QUARTER OF THE GLOBE. Tlie Latest Intelligence Received by Wire from Distant Lands and at Home—The Cream of the News Gathered from All Quarters of the World. THE SIGNAL SERVICE. Gan. Greely Tells of she Needs of the Weather Bureau. General A. W. Greedy, Chief Signal Officer of the army, in his annual report calls attention to the necessity of improt ement and change in current methods of signal instruction and practice. The records show that less that one officer out of nine of the line of the armv has received instruction in signaling during the year. These evils are especially pronounced in view of the introduction of the telephone and other instruments or modern invention which are applicable to signal ng purposes. He recommends that the force of enlisted men in the service be reduced from 470 to 200. The cold wave predictions, he says, have improved greatly since their inauguration. The weather crop bulletin has met with great favor. The General urges more liberal appropriations. Dr. Peters’ Party Massacred. A Zanzibar cable reports that the Masais or feomalis have massacred Dr. Peters, the German explorer, and the whole of the first division of his party, except one European and one Somali, who were wounded and are now at Ngao. The second division of Dr. Peters' expedition, which started from Vitu last month under Borchert and Rust, his lieutenants, are retreating to the coast. They failed to effect a junction with the first party, and were saved. Another Sensation Promised. A London cable says: “Mr. Molloy, member- of Parliament, in a speech at Sheffield said that the Parnellites had in their possession documentary evidence proving the complicity of government officials in a conspiracy against the Irish, and that the publication of this evidence would cause a sensation even greater than that resulting from the commission revelations. He said it was intended to expose the plot immediately after the opening of Parliament.” The Supreme Court Snowed Under Edward Otis Hinkley, of Baltimore, Secretary of the American Bar Association, and J. Hubbard Ashton, of Washington, have delivered to President Harrison a letter, prepared by a distinguished committee on behalf of the association, setting forth the great accumulation of the business of the United States Supreme Court, and making a strong statement of the urgent necessity for the enactment of some measure of relief. Dockmen Will Aid the Lightermen. The London dock laborers have declined to work until the master lightermen accede to the terms demanded by their employes. The master lightermen have had a conference with the Lord Mayor and Cardinal Manning, which was also attended by Burns, Tillett and Buxton on behalf of the dockmen and their allies. The questions at issue were exhaustively and somewhat warmly discussed, but no decision was reached. Shortage in Cotton Oil Trust Funds. A New York dispatch says: There is a shortage of over §275,000 in the Cotton Oil Trust accounts. It is found that the President and Treasurer have lost $527,090 of the trust’s money speculating in trust certificates, hoping to stem the tide that ' has been running against them. The speculating officers made good $250,000 of these losses out of their private purses, but the trust will have to stand the balance. Escaped from Prison. John Lynch, a convict at the St. Clouri-(Minn.) reformatory, has succeeded in making his escape. He was a trusted fellow, as he had but a short time to serve, and was engaged in carrying water. One of the guards saw him and fired two shots after him without success. Nothing has been seen of the fugitive, although guards have been sent in every direction. • Children Buried in the Sand. Jeremiah and Mary E., aged 3 and 5 years, children of Jeremiah Shaw, residing in Shaw’s Lane, near Haverhill, Mass., were found dead, buried in a sandbank near their home. The children, who had been in the habit of playing in the sandbank, were missed the previous day, and search began then and continued until the bodies were discovered in the sand. A Jesuit Claim Settled. At Quebec the sum of $400,000 has been paid over by the Provincial Government to Father Turgeon, representing the Jesuit Order in Canada, in consideration of the order’s total and perpetual abandonment of claims to the estates which became the propertj- of the crown when the order was suppressed nearly a century ago. , I Close of the Paris Exposition. The closing of the Paris Exposition was marked by a brilliant fete. Four । hundred thousand people were present, j the largest attendance since the opening I of the exhibition. There were a few | slight accidents due to the crush. The । weather was beautiful and the fete vas a । great success. _______ । Heir to $500,000. Edward Hires, an employ in G. D. Parnell’s tinshop in Rochester, Minn., starts for England at once having been notified that he is tb ® V*. an ! estate valued at over £IOO,OOO, which has fallen to him on the death of an uncle. Refused the Decoration. Alexander Harrison, the painter and member of the American art jury at ; the Exhibition, has refused to accept the decoration of an officer de I’Academie conferred on him by the jury of awards at the Paris Exhibition^ Cresson’s Defalcation $92,000. A Conshohocken (Pa.) dispatch says: “The bank examiners have completed the examination of the books of the Tradesmen’s National bank, and place Cresson’s defalcation at s92^ooo?’ EASTERN OCCURRENCES. The passenger boat City of Hudson was burned while lying at Catskill Point, N. Y. A lamp exploded while the watchman, the only person on board, was pre- ■ paring his breakfast. Loss, $20,000. People at Providence, R. L, have ■ been surprised by the bequests of the late Henry S. Steere, who left his fine resi- i dence and works of art, with SIOO,OOO in cash, to his Secretary. Charles 11. Atwood, who was formerly a clerk in a restaurant. Dovey’s brass foundry, the building of 1

I the Allegheny City Carpet-Cleaning Company, and two stables at Allegheny City, Pa., have been destroyed by tire, causing a loss of $40,000. A colored man perished in the flames. WESTERN HAPPENINGS. Judge Withrow of the Circuit Court of St. Louis, Mo., has rendered a decision declaring the new State grain inspection law, which went into effect Nov. 1, to be constitutional, and that therefore all warehousemen in the State must take out a license to do business as such. A Cincinnati dispatch says: Coroner Rendigs has rendered his verdict upon the Mount Auburn inclined plane accident, in which six persons lost their lives. He says the immediate cause was the failure of the pilot, Charles Goble, to properly work the throttle and thereby stop the ear. He finds that even if the piece of iron found in the steamchest interfered with the working of the throttle, still Goble could have prevented the accident by the proper use of the brake and reverse lever. He further finds that the draw-cable and safety-rope were not properly fastened to the car, and that the employes in charge of the machinery were guilty of criminal carelessness in not stopping the train and examining the machinery at 10 a. m„ when the machinery refused to work properly. At the annual meeting of the American Percheron Horse-Breeders’ Association, held at Chicago, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Hon. T. W. Palmer, Detroit; Vice President, I. L. Ellwood, DeKalb, 111. ; Secretary, S. D. Thompson, Wavne, Ill.; Treasurer, P. Whitman, and the following Hoard of Directors : M. W. Dunham. Capt. T. Slattery, James Garfield, R. B. Kellogg, Leon Johnson, Henry Avery, E. W. Cottrell, F. B. Redfield, and H. C. Wheaton. At Duluth, Minn., there have just been exposed the details of a gigantic real estate fraud perpetrated by swindlers of Minneapolis and Indiana. The victims are very numerous and are mostly persons living in Minneapolis and in the southern part of Minnesota, lowa, and Indiana, a division nine miles from the city, where land is worth sl6 an acre, was platted and given a similar name to that of a valuable division inside the city. Over $337,000 worth of transfers, many of them, of course, fictitious, were recorded before the fraud was discovered. A BUST of the late Hon. O. P. Morton has been unveiled in Crown Hill Cemetery at Indianapolis, Ind. The bust is of white marble and is a little over three feet high. It was designed by Symonds and executed in Rome. Chief Justice Byram K. Elliott presided at the ceremonies. The Rev. Dr. Day acted as chaplain. Gov. Hovey gave a short review of Mr. Morton’s career, paying a high tribute to his abilities as a statesman and his courage when anonymous persons were thieatening him with death. SOUTHERN INCIDENTS. The New Orleans Cotton Exchange has issued a statement based on official returns of the different exchanges, making the average weight of 2,018,714 bales of this year’s cotton crop, embracing port receipts from Sept. Ito Oct. 31 and overland to Nov. 1, inclusive, 505.22 pounds per bale. The details by sections are: Texas, 534.24 pounds; Louisiana, 499.80; Alabama, 500; Georgia, 498.71; South Carolina, 499; Virginia, 494.45; North Carolina, 500, and Tennessee, etc,, 501.47. Compared with the September weights the average of the cotton belts for the two months together is 100.32 pounds per bale lighter. Advices from Hildalgo County, Tex., say that near the Jesus Maria Ranch bandits surprised and abducted the son of Senor Juan Garszia and are holding him for ransom. Rangers have gone in pursuit. The body of an unknown man was also found near the county line. A Sheriff’s posse has gone to try and identify the remains. THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States of America, do earnestly recommend that Thursday, the 28th day of this present month of November, be set i apart as a day of national thanksgiving and j prayer, and that the people of our country, ceasing from the cares and labors of j their working day, shall assemble in their I respective places of worship and give thanks i to God, who has prospered us on our way and i made our paths the paths of peace; beseech- j Ing Him to bless the day to our present and j future good, making it truly one of thanksgiv- I ing for each reunited home circle as for the na- | tion at large. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my i hand and caused the seal of the United States I to be affixed. Done at the city of Washington this first day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and eighty-nine, and of the ; Independence of the United States the one hun- ; died and fourteenth. Benj. Harrison. ! By the President — James G. Blaine. Secretary of State. । Third Auditor AV. K. Hart, ip his !

annual report to the Secretary of the Treasury, says that the number of pensioners on the rolls July 1, 1889, was 490,000, and that there will probably be added 35,000 more by June 30, 1890. This addition will make the estimated number of pensioners at that date 525,000, thus giving for examination 2,100,000 vouchers, and requiring for their payment at least $100,000,000. Secretary Proctor has amended the regulations governing promotions of meritorious non-commissioned officers of the army, so as to compel commanding officers to be more careful as to the character of the persons recommended. The report of the Government Bureau of Engraving and printing shows that during the year there were printed United States notes, gold and silver certificates, bonds and bank notes with a face value of $615,789,860. POLITICAL PORRIDGE. The President, has appointed Warren G. Sayre of Wabash, Ind., a member of the Cherokee Commission. The State Canvassing Board of Montana threw out the Tunnel Precinct returns from Silver Bow County, completed its work, and adjourned sine die. This gives the Republicans a majority in the Legislature. The contest in the courts is still pending, and if the Democrats win the County Canvassing Board will be compelled to count the rejected returns. The County Clerk will then issue certificates to the members shown to be elected by this count, and the result will be two sets of members elected from Silver Bow County—one bearing certificates from the Secretary of State and the others those of the County Clerk. The contest promises to be long and bitter. Acting Secretary Tichenor has appointed Thomas F. Ryan, of Indiana, to be chief of a division in the Third Auditor’s office, Treasury Department. J. J. De Grummond and John McGinnis have been appointed gaugers, and S. S. Patton and James Wonder storekeepers in the Fifth Illinois internal revenue district. ACROSS THE OCEANTelegrams received at the City of Mexico state that the revolution in Guatemala has ended in favor of the Government and that all of the revolutionists captured were shot. A London cablegram says: Mr. MacKinnon, the head of the relief committee, has received a dispatch from Henry M. Stanley. The explorer says: I reached the Albert Nyanza from Banal ya Jan. 18, for ‘the third time in 140 days, and found that Kmin and Jephson had both been prisoners since August. Is. 1888, the day after I made the discovery that Bartlettot's caravan had been wrecked. The troops in the equatorial province had revolted and shaken off allegiance. Soon fter the Mahdists invaded the province in full force. After the first battle in May the stations yielded, and a panic struck the natives, who joined the invaders and assisted in the work of destruction. The invaders subsequently suffered reverses, and dispatched a steamer to Khartoum for re-cnforcements. From Feb. 14 to May 8 I waited for the fugitives and then left the Albert Nyanza homeward-bound. I traversed the Semukt valley, the Awamba. the Usongora, the Toro, the Uhaiyana. the Unyampaka. the Anhori. the Karagwe, the Uhaiya, the Uzinza, the South Victoria, and the Nyanzn. Mr. MacKinnon says that the committee has given orders that supplies for Stanley be hurried on to Mpwapwa and beyond there if possible. The plucky explorer is expected to reach the coast in January or February. The felt manufacturers of Frankfort, Germany, have entered into a combination to control the output and equalize prices on the lines of the American trust. In the German Reichstag Herr Cluny, National Liberal, supported the permanent anti-socialist law, but urged that modifications of the bill were necessary. Herr Rechensperger, Centrist, and Herr Liebknecht, Socialist, both opposed the bill. FRESH AND NEWSY. A schoolmaster named Stener, at Rakau, Hungary, saturated his wife’s clothing with oil while she slept and set the fluid afire. He stood by and watched her while she burned to death. Secretary Tracy has decided not to grant anew trial to the cruiser Baltimore. He will accept her as soon as the contractors are ready. The horse-power developed was 22 short of the contract, and a penalty of $2,200 will be enforced. The visible supply of wheat and corn is, respectively, 25,713,500 and 7,792,649 bushels. Since last report wheat has increased 1,205,988 bushels, while corn decreased 1,594,021 bushels. GOVERNMENT APPOINTEES. Late Changes in <he Several Department Officials.

BROTHERHOOD MEETING THE PROTESTING BALL-PLAYERS ISSUE AN ADDRESS. Why They Have Decided to Leave the League The Causes W hich Have Led to the!Formation of a Players’ Organization Explained. The council of the Brotherhood of BaseBall Players was held, the other day, at the Fifth Avenue hotel in New York. The first few hours of the meeting were taken up by routine business, and wnen the delegates assembled after a short recess Messrs. Andrews, O'Rourke, Hanlon and Ward were appointed a committee to draw up a statement defining the position of the brotherhood toward the national league. The statement, which is the first official word from the brotherhood on the difficulty with the league, is as follows: “At last the Brotherhood of Baseball Players feels at liberty to make known its intentions and defend itself against the aspersions and misrepresentations which for weeks it has been forced to suffer in silence. It is no longer a secret that the players of tho league have determined to play next season under different management, but for reasons which will, we think, be understood it was deemed advisable to make no accouncement of the intention until the close of the present season; and now that the struggles for the various pennants are over and tho terms of our contracts have expired there is no longer reason for withholding it “In taking this step we feel that we owe it to the public and to ourselves co explain briefly some of the reasons by which we have been moved. There was a time when the league stood for integrity and fair dealing. To-day it stands for dollars and cents. Measures originally intended for the good of the game have been perverted into instruments for wrong. Players have been bought and sold and exchanged as if they were sheep. Reservation became with them another name for property right in the players. Even the disbandment and retirement of a club did not free the players. “Two years ago wo went to tho league and attempted to remedy some of these evils, but we completely failed. Wo made a strong effort last spring to reach an understanding with the {eague. They replied that the matter was not of sufficient importance to warrant a meeting and suggested that it be put off until fall. Upon this final refusal to meet us, we began organizing for ourselves and now are in shape to go ahead next year under new management and new auspices. “We believe that it is possible to conduct our national game upon lines which will not infringe upon individual and natural rights. We ask to be judged solely by our work, and believing that the game can be played more fairly and its business conducted more intelligently under a plan which excludes everything arbitrary and un-American we look forward with confidence to the support of the public and the future of the national game ” I TalEanl > M<>KA!< >MSAI. Governor Thomas Make* His Koport Necessities of the Teir^tory. Governor Thomaof Utah Territory, in his annual report, estimates the population of the Territory at 230,000. The aggregate assesse I valuation of property in incorporated cities and towns is $30,596, 169, with an indebte iiioss of $495, 151. The total number of land entries made during the year at the Salt Lake City land office was 1,795, representing 200,407 acres. The Governor says the public scoools of Utah fall short of tho requirements. The tax collected for their support does not pay one-half tho expenses consequently the pupils must pay tuition fees or the schools be closed. In many of the poorer districts the children are denied school privileges for many months of tlie year. In this connection the report quotes a letter written by AVilford Woo irutT, president of the Mormon church, to show that it is the purpose of the church to establish Mormon schools. The Governor recommends that Congress at on e place the < ontrol of the public schools in the hands of those who are disposed to be friendly to the public-s hool system. Speaking of the gentile strength in the Territory, the Governor says it will be many years before they will be in the majority. Outside of Salt Lake City and Ogden, where they own more than half of the real property the gentiles are only found in the mining camps and smaller railroad towns. The Mormons own nearly all the land under cultivation and the water available for irrigating it. Os the present attitude of the Mormon people the Governor says: “They have accepted the doctrine of polygamy and will probably adhere to it as long as they live, and it is a very poor tribute to their honesty to say they have abandoned it. A firm religious enthusiasm is their leading characteristic,'and as a rule they are law-abiding, especially as far as the law is confirmed by the priesthood, but they accept the doctrine of plural marriage in all sincerity and as a radical and necessary part of their religion. It may be well to understand that the strength of Mormonism, both in the masses and official--, is in its sincerity and not in its imposture. Any temporizing policy which leaves the church in a position to control the political policy of the Territory is only delaying the final settlement, and future legislation should be aimed at the political power of the church which has been the main pillar of its strength in Utah.” Pi AUM TiT TANNER. The Present Commissioner Reverses an Order of His Predecessor. General Raum, Commissioner of Pensions, has rescinded the order of Corporal Tanner respecting the publication of the list of pensions granted. These lists are furnished to press correspondents here for telegraphing to their respective papers. Until Tanner came it was the practice to show on the lists the name of the pensioner and the town and State where he resided. Tanner directed that the towns be not published, and consequently the lists showed only that a pension had been granted to John Smith or Joe Brown, of Illinois, as the case might be. This caused great confusion, as many times there would be hundreds of persons of the same name in a State. Tanner refused to revoke the order on the ground that tie did not want pension agents to get this information. Commissioner Raun is also decided to stop the practice of anowing applicants for pensions to be ordered before the examing board here. He says that if the local boards are not competent or are influenced by prejudice, he will remove them and have competent surgeons appointed. He says the practice of examining pensioners here has been abused, old soldiers having been ordered here at great expense, and if the pensions were not granted at once they become penniless and had to Subsist on charity, TROOPS FIGHT INDIANS. Conflict Between Soldiers and Redskins, a Corporal Bein;; Missing. News has'reached Tucson, Arizona, of a fight between Indians and a detachment of troops from Fort Huachaea, ten miles from ’Crittenden. A number of shots were exchanged, but none of the soldiers were hit, although Corporal Griffin is missing. Signal tires have been seen in the Whetstone mountains tc the south and the Salt River Pinal mountains to the northwest. From this it would seem there were more Indians out than the fugitives who murdered^ Sheriff Reynolds and guard, as the distance tc Crittenden would necessitate their traveling 150 miles in twelve hours. Sixteen detachments of cavalry from various posts are out making every effort tc intercept and capture the Indian convicts.

Entirely Helpless to Health. The above statement made by Mrs. S. H. Ford, wile of Gen. Ford, can be vouched for by nearly tho entire population of Corunna, Mich., her home for years. She was for two years a terrible sufferer from rheumatism. being confined to her bed most of the time, her feet and limbs being so badly swollen she could scarcely move. Sho was induced to try a bottle ot Hibbard’s Rheumatic Syrup. It helped her, and two additional bottles entirely cured her. To-day she is a well woman. First ask your druggist; should he not keep it, we will send on receipt of price, $1 per bottle or six for $5. Rheumatic Syrup Co. Jackson, Mich. T. A. Long and wife, of Alto, Ind., are the oldest married couple in that State. Mr. Long, who was formerly an Associate Judge, was exactly 93 years of age Oct. 16 last. His wife is in her 91st year, and they have been married almost seventy-one years. They settled in Indiana in 1826, coming from Kentucky. In 1840 Mr. Long removed to his present farm, being the second party to locate inside the Indian reservation. Here he worked in the gunsmith business, and was known among the Indians as “Old Specks,” on account of wearing spectacles. His place was a great camping ground of the tribe, and there still remains on the farm an Indian spring, walled up with stones, besides several .arge sink-holes, all in line, two of them perfectly round and each exactly 31” et t across, while a third, that is oblong, is 120 feet across and on a high bluff. These sinks are believed to be the work of mound-builders. The Fruit of Violence. In no cnsc is the folly of violence in medication more conspicuously shown by its fruit than in the effect upon the intestines of excessive purgation. The stomach and bowels are first painfully griped, then tho latter is copiously, suddenly and repeatedly evacuated. This is far beyond the necessities of the case, most unnatural, excessively debilitating. The organs are incapacitated from resuming their function with normal moderation. An astringent is resorted to which reduces them to their former condition of inaction. To this monstrous a.id harmful absurdity, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters is the happy alternative. Itrelaxes gently, naturally, sufficiently, it diverts bile from the blood into its proper channel, it insures healthful digestion and complete assimilation. It is a complete defense against malaria, and conquers rheumatism, neuralgia, nervousness, kidney and bladder trouble. Made His Life Bkmti Do Duty for Brains. An old soldier, gin-soaked and garrulous, was in the habit of frequently dropping into the sanctum of an editor and pestering him with stories about his old campaigns and battles. One day he came just as the editor was in the bustle of “going to press,” and with the generous but ill-timed desire of giving information for an article on modern warfare. He laid a map on the desk and proceeded to point out upon it the various positions in a battle in w hich he b <1 taken part. “This,” he said, pointing out with the stump of a pencil a certain part on the map, "is w here the enemy w ere massed in front of us. Here” (pointing to another place) “is where our division was drawn up in the square. AVe deployed in this direction, and our left wing was attacked by the enemy on this knoll.

Don’t hawk, haAvk, blow r , spit, and disgust everybody with your offensive breath, but use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy and end it.
